Default Damn...close call

Well I was just rolling around in my 01 SS just having a good time enjoying the nice weather. Well I was on a 4 lane type highway deal, and I got up next to an impala ss. I was basically just using this impala as an object to do about a 65 mph punch in 3rd gear just for the fun of it(just got the car seeing what it will do), well I get up to about 90 and i look in my mirror. Apparently this impala was an off-duty cop. So I thought to myself...well that was stupid...there goes my license.

He came up and he asked if I knew how many people have died in the past like 6 months from street racing and driving stupid. I said "I don't know..probably a lot." He said "yeah." He said so what were you doin? you saw another fast car and decided that you would try to race it. I was like no not really I wasn't even trying to race you I was just testing out my car. He said "well what should I do?" I said that i didn't know and he said that he was just gonna let me off. I said thanks man. Then he told me he was watching me, and if he caught me in the marked car doing it again I was gettin a ticket for sure. I said alright and was on my way.

DAMN that was close. I definately need to calm down with my driving, or well atleast not drive stupid around impala's.

You should have asked him if he knew how many cops have been killed pulling over F-bodies in the past 6 months. Then, you should have pulled our your 9 and started busting off caps at him...that would have taught him a lesson! J/K...but seriously...

Probably around 85 people nation-wide have died in the last 6-months from street-racing. If you want the HONEST number.

The popularity of street racing has skyrocketed, especially with the release of movies like "Fast and the Furious" in 2001. Cars are getting faster and accidents are on the rise.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of fatalities from street racing rose from 72 in 2000 to 135 in 2001.

In 1996, 5,412 pedestrians were killed by motor vehicles. Maybe YOU should ask HIM WTF HE was doing out of HIS car?http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/PEOPLE/ncsa...6.html#pedestr

Did he pull you over? In my opinion, if he pulled you over somehow, he was out of his rights. If anything, he should have called 911 and had an on duty officer follow up on the call/situation.

Did you pull over for an unmarked car with no lights?? Thats dumb my friend, very dumb. You have no idea whether its a real cop or not, regardless of whether he "flashes his badge" or not.

STFU. Well, I am not really a fan of donuts. But that other is an American Tradition!

i'm pretty sure it doesnt matter if they are on duty or not, just because they are sworn in to uphold the law....thats why they are supose to carry their weapon or buy another one for off duty...
